Maybe I will now be able to post a little more often. Between being sick and making presents and getting clothes out of storage to head home with, pre-Christmas was a tad hectic. But, the holidays were good, great, fantastic. My aunt and I made a wonderful Christmas dinner, including that cake you see above that about put everyone into a coma once they crashed from their sugar rush.

Christmas at Dad’s was great, too, and we got what my be the first family portrait of us, and I tried my first bite of hamball which was wonderful, despite the name. Mary also made my favorite cookies (which took me a while to try many years back) – ritz crackers with peanut butter and almond bark.

I arrived home to a wonderful dinner cooked by the boyfriend. We received great presents from our friend Chris:

We finished dinner and opened presents. Milo enjoyed his toys and treats. We were relaxing and enjoying Christmas tunes when Raju asked, “Will you marry me?”

Of course I said yes! We don’t remember which Christmas tune was playing, we just know it was not Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer. 🙂
